?? about grease fittings

Keep pumping grease into them until grease squirts out. Continue pumping until you see clean grease. the purpose of greasing them, is to purge any water, dirt and "used" grease. You are essentially doing a grease change.

I respectfully disagree with you. When new, the "dust boots" are attached/sealed at both ends. This is to prevent water and dirt from entering the boot and contaminating the grease. The worst thing that can be done is to pump in too much grease and dislodge the boot from either end where it is attached. Too many service places are guilty of pumping in too much grease and breaking the seals.

These grease points are not made to have a "grease change". You can verify my facts by searching the internet. Take care.
